A fond farewell

To get this posted today, I had to sneak it around our web editor...on her last day as our web editor.

Let me put it this way: Ole Miss' gain is NBC News' loss. Cynthia Joyce has been our stellar friend and partner -- a superb journalist (most notably to me, a Katrina Survivor and veteran of nola.com in New Orleans) and a master of the web. She has made us all better, and I'm proud to call her a friend. She's leaving for the University of Mississippi to apply her skills and her trade there. We will miss her every day. She will kill me for this. Cynthia: good luck, we will miss you and we wish you the very best in life.
